Card Sharks by Pete Williams
If you have not read this book, you should. I read it probably 25 years ago, and am almost through it again. It is about the rise of Upper Deck. it was written in the mid 90s. the first part of the book gives a history of baseball cards from the tobacco era right through 1981 when fleer and donruss joined topps. the rest… -
1815/2 and 1836 reeded edge half dollars... Added photos to first post
... I'm hoping to be able to pick them up in a month or two. These are not run of the mill busts, but they aren't top of the pop either. They do look awesome though. The first is an ANACS 1815/2 in f12 The second is an ANACS 1836 reeded edge in vf30. The 36 looks well beyond 30 to me and the 15/2 just looked way too… -
1828 capped Bust Dime, Large Date, Curl base 2.
Only 2 dime varieties exist for the year 1828. This is an example of the JR-2 variety, distinguished by a larger date and a curled base in the '2' in the date. JR-2 is (only) described as R-3 and the scarcer of the two varieties, but, in my experience it is deceptively difficult to find in better grades. This example has… -
Re: Type-2 3 trime: great investment potential?
MR has been making the same general recommendations for type coins since the early to mid 1980's when I first started reading him. The Type 2's in gem made sense as to complete a gem type set of all designs it was needed...and quite scarce. I think that recommendation worked ok during the run up to 1989, but has fallen… -

Re: What is holding this 1922 Peace Dollar back from MS66+ or MS67?
66+ is not 66 1/2 it is 66 with eye appeal And there’s nothing appealing about stains. Besides doesn’t a green bean mean the grade is already correct? -
1988 World Series game 2 w/ pre game Kirk Gibson/The Natural parallel production
Gibson's home run is the greatest HR in history. It puts a smile on my face every time I still watch Vin Scully make the call. The game 2 pre game featured a nice little Kirk Gibson/The Natural video comparison in addition to all the bells and whistles of the event. They even asked Gibson about The Natural in the pre game… -
A unique #2 punch? On an 1805 quarter
The #2 punch on the reverse die of an 1805 B-5 quarter is unlike any other #2 punch in the entire series. So why is this? Could a regular punch be used and have the engraver enhance the 2 before the die was hardened? The punch was from a different series? Or more unlikely a punch that was used only once. I could use some… -
Here's the 2 1/2 I just got back... the grade wasn't important or expected.
I think I've had this coin for about 35 years or so. It was given to me as a young boy who was avidly filling his whitman's and accumulating mint and proof sets from the mint. It didn't see the light of day for at least 3 decades. When I became active again about 3 years ago I dug out all my old stuff and this coin was…
